The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 72

On an empty bridge.

“therefore!”

Only my voice was echoing there.

“why! Hold on to busy people! Damn it! “Damn it!”

Knock, knock,

knock, knock, knock.

I was beating Yang Minho, who was crouching on the floor, like a dog with a wiper. It’s a sight to see someone unilaterally beating up someone who can’t even resist.

Anyone who sees me will think I’m a villain.

“That that…”

“Huh? Put your arms down. “Are you missing a bone?”

“Stop….”

“Stop? Why hit it first and stop now? “It’s so damn bad.”

Knock knock-.

He beat me until my anger went away. He stopped beating me only when my arm started to hurt.

From the looks of it, Yang Minho had already fainted.

Only then did I put down the wipers.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the country’s No. 1 ranked hunter lost his mind after being hit a few times with a wiper.

The damage from the last attack must have already been the limit.

“You bastard…”

I clicked my tongue and looked down at him.

Actually, right after I got hit by the truck, I got really hot… but that only lasted a moment.

Even though I said that, I didn’t really intend to kill him in the first place.

Not only am I not in a position to act on personal feelings right now, but if I do something wrong, it won’t end up as a problem for me alone.

So I tried to beat him just until he was about to die…

but the problem is, how do I know how much this bastard can endure without dying?

Therefore, I had to adjust my strength little by little in several installments.

‘I’m glad he’s a talented guy.’

It held up better than I thought.

Well, I am actually wandering around the edge of death.

“Let’s see…”

I looked around with my hands on my waist.

First of all, the car was completely destroyed and it took much longer than expected. It looks like there is no time to go to headquarters.

Of course, it doesn’t really matter anymore.

No, I should say that it actually went well.

It’s like the connection came to me on its own.

match-.

“hey.”

He suddenly slapped Yang Minho, who had fainted, on the cheek.

Fortunately, he regained consciousness right away.

He opened his eyes faintly and lifted his head with difficulty.

“Call me.”

I threw my cell phone in front of him.

“…?”

“Call the client who commissioned you.”

“Hehe… what are you talking about….”

“Why are you pretending not to know? Hey you bastard. “So you’re saying it was just a coincidence that you tried to kill me at this exact moment?”

That’s ridiculous.

Someone is manipulating the dungeon and suddenly attacks me for no reason?

How could this be a coincidence?

I might be an obstacle, so I don’t know if they want to bundle it up and deal with it all at once.

Someone operating the dungeon.

And Yang Minho attacked me.

I don’t know exactly what the relationship between the two is, but I am certain that there is a connection.

Then what should I do?

“Call me quickly. “Let’s hear what kind of bastard did this.”

“I don’t mind calling you… would you mind? If you get involved with that, you will never be able to die well…”

mate.

“There is too much talk.”

“….”

I have to check it even if it means beating it up.

Yang Minho began pressing the dial with trembling fingers.

The connecting sound that follows.

“Did you handle it well?”

a woman’s voice came over the phone.

The language used is not Korean.

‘But the voice is familiar…’

But he soon brushed it off and opened his mouth.

“uh. “You handled it well.”

「…!」

“What are you guys? Are you really part of the International Association?”

The lively voice had disappeared and a tense silence could be felt from the other side.

What am I doing now?

“Tell me what you want. “You wouldn’t do something like this for no reason.”

“….”

“…okay. “The right to remain silent is good.”

I sighed heavily.

This isn’t like talking to a wall.

I wasn’t expecting it, but it seemed like I had to give up on resolving the issue through good conversation.

I lifted the wiper again.

Sigh!

“Kwaaaa!!”

He slammed it into Yang Minho’s thigh.

“Would this bastard be quicker to open his mouth or would you be quicker to answer?”

「….」

Wow, you still won’t say anything?

No, if this is going to happen, why are you holding on to the phone?

“Hmm….”

I can’t help it.

I have no choice but to show this card first.

“Okay then, I’ll talk to you alone. “Just listen.”

I flopped down on Yang Minho.

Because the story will be a bit long.

“Now here’s my guess. Someone is arbitrarily manipulating the dungeon using dimension stones. And that someone is an international association or some organization closely related to it.”

「….」

“But what kind of grudge does that organization have against us that it would do something like this? “I thought carefully about what they wanted from us… but no matter how much I looked, only one thing came to mind.”

I paused for a moment and focused on the sound coming from the other end of the phone. And then he spoke quietly.

“Are you guys looking for time slots?”

“…You have quite a rich imagination.”

She, who had remained silent, reacted for the first time.

“Keep listening. Because I’m not finished talking yet. Bank items cannot be transferred between associations. The only way to obtain such items is to take them by force or take over the entire association. But if you used force, your true identity might be revealed, so you had no choice but to choose the latter, right?”

「….」

“So my conclusion is this.”

He continued speaking while holding his cell phone.

“They tried to conduct a hostile takeover against us. For that purpose, we opened a dungeon and tried to kill a large number of our hunters. how is it. Is it plausible?”

“…What are you?”

“I hear that a lot today.”

A grin escaped.

“But did you try to kill me without knowing who the fuck was?”

My eyes tightened.

At that moment, I felt truly angry, but…

what would I do if I got angry at someone I didn’t even know?

I tried to calm my mind.

“Anyway, putting that aside… reopen the dungeon when you say it in kind words.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I don’t think they have figured out the situation yet…”

Phuuk―.

“Kwaaaaaa!!”

An ear-piercing scream.

“Are you confident that your true identity won’t come out of this bastard’s mouth?”

「….」

“Just open the dungeon again. Then I’ll pretend nothing happened. “If I don’t open it within 10 minutes…”

He shook off his anger again and opened his mouth softly.

“I’m looking for you.”

There was still no answer.

But I said everything I had to say.

I was about to hang up the phone, believing that this was enough to convey my true feelings.

“Ah, let me ask you one last question.”

A question suddenly popped into my mind.

“Are you guys from ghost stories? A secret organization affiliated with the International Association that kills anyone who gets in trouble….”

Pop—.

“….”

That’s a kind answer.

“Hehehehehe….”

“Even in this situation, you smile easily. “I guess I haven’t been hit yet?”

“Do you know who you touched just now?”

Even though he was struggling in pain, Yang Minho was so happy that he had a smile on his face.

“It’s not just you. Now everything around you is fucked.”

“….”

I slowly got up from Yang Minho’s back. And then I looked down at him who was still lost.

“The moment you get even slightly involved, you’re already done…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“…?”

“There was this bastard I was looking for for months? “But I couldn’t find it so I completely forgot about it these days?”

I waved my cell phone in front of him.

“But I think I’ve found it now.”

I smiled without realizing it.

***

PB Corporation Bank Item Control Center.

Unlike the usual solemn atmosphere, the atmosphere was quite chaotic.

No, rather than being disorganized, the group was in a state of panic. This is because a situation that no one expected occurred.

“First, let out the jammer so they can’t track your location!”

“Your number has already been exposed!”

“Discard the USIM immediately and reset all data!”

“That team leader?”

At that time, one of the team members approached Chloe.

“What should I do now? Even if the number was exposed, there is a possibility that the field worker will reveal his identity if he is caught…”

Chloe also could not easily make a decision about that.

In fact, it was fully expected that Kim Jun-woo would be suspicious of the International Association as soon as the dungeon closed.

With his information and judgment, he will be able to immediately understand things that other people cannot easily think of.

So, there must have been some form of contact.

However, even if I contact them, they will contact the headquarters of the International Association. I never thought they would go straight through here.

“Yang Minho, this idiot is so….”

Chloe muttered a curse.

It is absurd that a person who is ranked No. 1 in a country cannot even handle a janitor. But that’s not enough, they even break down security, which is PB Corporation’s first rule.

This is definitely not something to just ignore.

They must be held accountable.

‘First of all, let’s put that aside…’

Chloe stroked her hair.

Okay, what matters now is not the bastard’s disposition.

Director Kim Jun-woo found out.

Everything that was said to be speculation turned out to be correct.

I wondered if he knew everything about our organization, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case. I guess it was necessary to confirm that it was an organization in a ghost story.

So, as always, you can keep your mouth shut and remain ignorant… but

the problem is that Yang Min-ho fell into that guy’s hands.

The moment he utters even one word about PB Corporation, the heads of all employees, including the CEO, will be blown off.

This is especially true when you consider that all of PB Corporation’s employees were actually replaced because of the person who first spread the ‘ghost story’.

‘What should I do…’

Are you ignoring Kim Jun-woo and continuing to retrieve the time stone?

Or should we cancel the operation now and maintain security?

Chloe had to choose one of the two with four minutes remaining.

Of course, saying he would come visit may simply be bluffing. No, even if it wasn’t a bluff, there was no way they could find their true selves.

Above all, Yang Min-ho is also a member of the balance adjustment team. I am not the kind of person who would open my mouth to trivial torture.

So, if someone else had said something like that, I would have naturally ignored it.

Okay, if it’s someone else…

boom!

“Damn it!”

The desk in front of her shook violently.

Take a moment to spit out all kinds of swear words at the same time.

“…you there.”

She called out to her team members with a face covered in cold sweat.

“Contact the balance adjustment team right now and tell them to raise Kim Jun-woo, Seoul headquarters director, to the top target. “The same goes for the level of surveillance around that person.”

“If you say surroundings, how far….”

“Everything!” “Whether it’s the operations team or the cleaning team, if you think they’re involved with that person, go under surveillance!”

“Oh, I understand.”

“And…”

Chloe said, having difficulty parting her trembling lips.

“…Restart the dimension stone.”
